Gu Danyan slowly got up from the bed and leaned on him, ”The armies of Navy Tide have been in a rugged state for a long time, and even the promotion of officers and officers have to be completed within a decade. With so many people staying in their seats for so long without any reason, it's only natural for something to happen.”

Duan Chengxuan had no choice but to get off the bed and personally carry the porridge back to the bedside.

Since he had already achieved his goal, he did not plan to stay in the corner and only said that Yun Wan would temporarily return to the capital to report to him that he was safe.

”Mother, why haven't you come here yet?” Gu Danyan pushed away the bowl in Duan Cheng Xuan's hand.

”If there were still some space beside you, Mistress would not have to hug the little Young Master and not let him go.” As Ziming spoke, he glanced at Duan Chengxuan with a deeper meaning, but in the end, his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Gu Liuyan pursed his lips. He didn't really want to eat anymore.

Ever since she had reprimanded him for a moment, it was rare and rarely to be seen again in the future. Even if they met, Duan Chengxuan's skin would be as thick as a city wall, and not only would he yell mother's name, he would even lean on her side like a great Buddha, refusing to leave no matter what.

At this point, his mother could only helplessly smile, but not too often. The only sound that could be heard was his mother's voice coaxing the child through the window.

”I forgot my daughter when I had a grandson, that's all I can say.” Gu Danyan lightly sighed, but Duan Chengxuan caught him off guard and stuffed him with a mouthful of porridge. Subsequently, Duan Chengxuan's voice sounded beside his ear. ”Get down to business.”

Gu Liuyan coughed twice, but he was unable to clearly see the smile on Duan Chengxuan's face, so he could only lower his head and eat obediently. In his heart, however, his thoughts were different.

Earlier, although she had only stayed by Duan Chenrui's side for around two days, if one were to think about it carefully, Feng Zhu had once tried to confuse her time and location on the road, and all of this could be caused by Duan Chengrui. On the other hand, this person was practically seen through by them, and everything he did was thoroughly investigated.

One was meticulous while the other was high-profile. Then why was Duan Chengrui defeated?

Just as she was thinking, Hong Xiao also opened his mouth, ”In fact, the border trials are getting increasingly chaotic. Some of the twenty thousand soldiers are not Navy Tide people, and from the looks of it, they somewhat resemble Jiang Yan. On the other side, Sang Ning also betrayed them.”

”Rebel?” Duan Chengxuan's eyes narrowed. Even Gu Daiyan came over and asked, ”Didn't you bring Sang Ning here earlier because of his loyalty?”

”I thought so.” Duan Chengxuan put down the empty bowl, then went to fill a bowl of hot soup and another small plate of food, before placing it on the small stool beside Gu Danyan and continuing to feed her. He looked at her obedient appearance and continued, ”But it isn't impossible for him to rebel.”

Gu Daiyan took a sip of the soup and shook his head: ”Hurry and tell me.”

”Our royal family once killed Sanning's family, so the only ones who stayed to serve the royal family were him and Hong Xiao. However, Hong Xiao was a side branch of the royal family, and since he was an orphan who was abandoned, he was very loyal, but Sanning's wife and children were all killed in the market. He harbored hatred in his heart, and his loyalty to the royal family was only because of the oath he made that day.” ”The Sanning Clan values their oath. That year, they entered the Navy Tide clan because of the destruction of their nation and family. In the end, because of the destruction of their family, the remaining children had intentions of promoting them, but it was difficult for them to regain their former glory.”

”So what is his oath?” Gu Daiyan chewed on the vegetables in his mouth and actually felt that the taste was pretty good.

”To serve the Emperor.” Duan Cheng Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly. ”A few days ago, I still had a high chance of winning, but now that he's rebelled, it means that he thinks there's someone more suitable to become Emperor.”
